The truth must be complimented

While Lee is not a great defender his deficiencies are magnified by playing out of position. If he had a defensive center playing in the paint then Lee's lack of D would be mitigated. I do agree as of now, Gasol is the better player but Lee is on par with his passing. That said, Gasol has reached his ceiling and we know what his limits are while Lee has not and is still improving.

We won't afford that with Eddy Curry's contract...people forget about that

Let's estimate...

Lebron 18 million +
Johnson 15 million +
Lee 10 million = 43 million

We only have 34 million in cap space right now.

if we can sign johnson, Trade him and curry for melo... Denver are looking to get rid of melo anyway and they moved AI for financial reason, so curry's expiring contract might be appealing.... that might just work.

Somewhere on the interwebs, they said something about him being to much of a tosser and getting into trouble with the police and ****. Something about not coming out of a game when the coach wanted him to. The coach said he was way over the line and they might think about trading him.

i honestly doubt that...he is their Brandon Roy..their top player and Billups has great ESP with Melo...they are not looking to trade him, I dont beleive any of those web intereviews you saw.

Denver would have to be fools to give up Melo...i only see them trading him during the trade deadline if they honestly think he is not resigning with them.

Max contract is 16.5 mil based off of cap projections. We prob can't afford it unless they all agree to take less in order to play together. We could orchestrate multi-team sign and trades to go over the cap though and then it would work and we would have our MLE too so we can grab a big. (very difficult to pull off since you need all parties to agree)
